A bolt and nut

[skeets]

OK I understand prices do go up and thats the way it is.
I just called the stealer for a shoulder bolt for the anti scalp wheel on the BX deck, 1 bolt 1 nut not counting a washer, is 10 bucks. Yeah I'm whining that is 3 bucks at most, I dont mind the dealer making a buck but common!!

I was at the hardware store this morning and noticed that a 1/4" flat washer was 11¢. I can drill a hole through a penny and save 10¢.

A friend did that when he needed copper washers for his boat.

What’s a penny?

I'm glad to have a Tractor Supply close to the house since they still sell most nuts/bolts/washers by the pound. MUCH cheaper than buying at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Questioning and complaining about parts prices from Kubota in the past has been met with disfavor. Some factions feel genuine Kubota parts have special alloys and manufacturing processes which make Kubota's prices reasonable to keep tractor original and unadulterated.

Forging in the fires of Mt. Doom and quenching in unicorn blood does NOT come cheap.

Yes that and we must be sensitive to folks who steep themselves in OTT and Orange tractors like some us do with our grandkids. Kubota is culture the logo is like a family crest. To disparage one's surname culture or less than perfect grandbaby cuts deep.

That little plastic headed thumbscrews for my BX mower deck shields were $8.00 each 2 years ago. Really only worth about 50 cents each but the Kubota bag turned them to gold . That doesn't really bother me like food prices rising weekly that you can't do without.

Ask your wife, daughter, granddaughter, or any female who buys makeup what a bottle costs and the amount of product in the bottle. I was in the mall with my wife when she went in to pick up some makeup. I looked at the bottle and it was in grams, I think about 4 grams and the cost was about $30. I asked the sales lady if the product was delivered by armored car, and she gave me the deer in the headlight look. I explained that there were approximately 28.5 grams per ounce. Quick math said that was $7.50 per gram times 28 = $210 per ounce or more than $3300 per pound. This was about 20 years ago when things were a lot less expensive. The price of beauty is extremely expensive.

"Food prices rising weekly"?
I don't understand: I have repeatedly been told that everything is better with Bidenomics"?

heck $10 for a bolt and nut is chump change compared to the $532 + 13% for the 23s of plastic that Nissan calls a wheel well molding.

The price of telling her she cannot pay the price for the makeup would be way more expensive, imo

You got off easy. I just paid $12.00 for two of these clips (only needed 1) at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Charcoal Canister clip. PO had broken it and tried to use masking tape. Of course the CE lights been on since about 2 weeks after I bought the Jeep.

Amazon has 77 piece set for $9.99. I am in a hurry though . I'm getting ready to sell it so I thought I better find/fix the issue.
